Making friends in New York shouldn't be this hard. Sally is a members-only social app for New Yorkers (soon to be other cities) who are tired of scrolling and want to actually meet people — built around shared interests, not endless swiping. HOW IT WORKS Open Star Packs — interest-based worlds like Coffee Lovers, Cocktail Connoisseurs, Film Fanatics, and Bookaholics. Pick the ones that are you, and answer one honest question in each. Those answers become your Star Qualities: the truest version of you on your profile. Sally matches you with people who genuinely share your world — then nudges you to actually go do something about it. Grab coffee. Hit a bar. Find a bowling lane. There's a map where you star the spots that make your city yours, and see where your community goes too. WHY SALLY IS DIFFERENT - Members-only — every profile is reviewed by a real person - Interest-first — you match on what you actually love, not just a photo - Built to get you offline — the goal is a real hangout, not a longer chat - No infinite scroll, no performing — just people worth meeting Whether it turns into a friendship or something more is entirely up to you. Sally is free to use. Optional in-app purchases are available but never required. Now go meet someone. Stay whimsy. Met Through Sally LLC · New York, NY

IMatch4U

Your next connection can start with more than a swipe. IMatch4U helps you meet real people through shared values, interests and relationship preferences, with support from your AI twin. CREATE YOUR AI TWIN Follow a guided conversation about who you are and what you are looking for. Review and approve your twin's portrait before starting the search. EXPLORE CONNECTIONS With your consent, your twin talks with other consenting members' AI twins. Read these clearly labelled AI conversations and explore common ground before deciding whether to connect. Affinity estimates are indicative, not scientific assessments or guarantees of compatibility. YOU DECIDE WHAT COMES NEXT A conversation between people opens only when both accept. Send your own messages, ask the AI coach for suggestions when you want help, and propose a date to confirm together. Date suggestions do not book venues. STAY IN CONTROL Pause your twin's search, report or block a connection, manage your profile and request account deletion. IMatch4U is for adults aged 18 and over. START FREE Begin with the free plan.
